Houston VA neurologist jailed on child porn charges

Dr. Robert Kolimas, a longtime Houston neurologist at the VA Medical Center in the Texas Medical Center, was jailed on Thursday after an employee at a computer repair shop found child pornography on his machine, KHOU-TV reports on its website.

Police searched Kolimas’ computer Wednesday, Channel 11 reports, and found 40 images of children from 8 months to 8 years old in sexually explicit positions. Investigators told KHOU that some of the children were shown having intercourse.

A spokesman at VA Medical Center tells KHOU that Kolimas has been placed on administrative leave. He was in Harris County Jail on $100,000 bond Thursday. His next court date is Friday.
